    Who Is Decent On The Ground Already?

    For the love of God please help. Only transition I can recognize and deny is me in top half AI trying to recover full guard. He puts his hand on your leg. What is the best way to practice / look for tells? I've used Grapple Practice and just hold RT. When the AI transitions it briefly shows the direction to block. I just find it tricky keeping one eye on the HUD and the other trying to read his movement. Any suggestions?

    Also it's probably just because my standup and combos are godawfull in fighting games but I find it much easier to throw them in this one than the first.

    You wont be able to deny well until you learn how to grapple without relying on the hud. You already explained why. The grappling tells are too quick to look for and use the HUD at the same time.

      So how did you practice? Use one guy exclusively and learn his moves then take the HUD off? Here's a question then AHolbert. I have full mount. He moves his left arm first but slides it to the right? Which way should I deny?

        Iin practice mode if you hold the Rt or R2 the HUD will open and then it will tell you which direction you need to defend, it will flash the direction and if you move that direction with out releasing (rt or r2) then it will block. Use that tell to see which direction you need to block based on the defense movement.

          Remember I had 25 hours of practice before the beta was released. Also basic transitions like side control, full mount, back slide are pretty much universal for every fighter. The subs and the advanced transitions are the ones that are different. I still need the HUD for those.

          Its the leg that he is pushing back. If he is pushing to the left, you should deny to the left. If he is trying to escape, you should press down.

            Ok thanks. Ya don't even get me started on the unique grapple moves some fighters may have on the ground there. I have no shot right now there. Just want to get the basics down. I'll take the HUD off and really just watch the animation. I think hes pushing my right leg with his left arm when mounted. So deny right. I'll keep practicing. Thanks guys....

            Ya blocking subs in a certain direction certainly makes it more challenging now too. Rather have it like this than too easy though. Much like my hitting abilities in The Show lol

              I seem to be alright on the ground. Of course, I've only gotten it down since the beta ended so I've only have the AI to practice on. Could be a whole different game against a real opponent.

                I feel pretty comfortable on the floor. Mr. Knuckles can testify to that.

                  You're weak and your whole camp is weak lmao. Like I said, you caught me online with no real ground experience and you lay and prayed me. Next fight you got got dropped like an ACME anvil. My Aholbert battles have gotten me a bit more comfortable on the ground since then. That's your *** when the game drops lol.

                    Pappy is lucky. My ground game is light years better than it was with the beta but It looks like I'm getting the game on XBox (They haven't received the ps4 codes yet).

                    I may just buy a ps4 copy so that I can play u guys online.

                      Yeah, you need to get that PS4 copy. Nobody on Xbox can fight lol. All you damn ground boys around here, though. I'm gonna have to be on point denying these takedowns. Challenge accepted.

                        do skills from UFC 1 transfer to this game? What I mean is, if you were good at the first game will you be good at UFC 2, or is there a big learning curve?

                          If you were a good striker in the first one, you'll be a good striker in this. The ground game will take a bit longer for you to adjust.
